 country is in its infancy, it is just beginning. 



Generally speaking, we may say that the woodlands of our 

 country cover several hundred million acres ; that the greater 

 part is culled, cut and burned over ; that even today about eighty 

 million people, with a most extraordinary and constantly increas- 

 ing consumption of wood, depend upon a judicious use of what 

 there is left of the old forests on these woodlands, and that the 

 most diligent care of the woods will be necessary to guard against 

 a serious disturbance in our economic relations, which probably 

 can not be avoided entirely.

 will require the continuous effort for all time of many thousands 

 more to continue the work most successfully.
